Hey ya,

Im thinking bout buying a r33 gts skyline for my first car.

I was woundering on how much i should pay for one of these.

(low k's) and i also wanna know is there a good year i should by this car like 1995 ?? or watever

thanks

Has anyone with a standard non turbs skyline dragged a VP commodore?

How would they go against each other?

I know some1 with a commodore VP (with aftermarket exhaust) thats wants a drag?

How do u reckon my non turbo skyline will go?

cheers Luke

[doxximus]

just go for it, if u lose eh what can you do, work on ur technique, mod ur car more? doesnt matter its all fun, unless he wants to beat you just to make fun of you, in that case, gives u more reason to beat him and try harder

[Nismodified]

funnily enuff i too know someone with a vp, and has a cath back, and i have an R33 GTS.

from my rekoning, a auto vp with zorst should about the same, as an auto R33 gts.

but u sccrew the launch, his got ya.

I just bought a schmikko R33 GTS-4 from Japan....couldn't be happier !!

Anyone else here got a GTS-4?

What is the market value in OZ for one of these?

Are they pretty rare in OZ (I haven't seen many advertised?)

Did most of you guys import ur N/A's or buy them local?

Great site - Great thread

Thanks Joe,

What is the value you think of a GTS-4?

Do you know of anyone that has turbo'ed one , to make a 4WD Turbo?

Cheers

[CC]

How did you find it to drive? Did you find it relatively quick, or more of a cruiser?

Can you suggest anything to improve performance?

Thanks

the RB25DE has simiolar power to the holden 3.8 litre 6 but the skyline weighs about 200kgs less, so i would expect you to win

GtSkylinePeTe,

i have a r33 gts for my first car and i'm very happy with it. obviously the newer it is the better, but i don;t know of any problems with specific years. i imported mine myself and by the time it was on the road it had cost me a bit under $15000 but you could probably pick them up cheaper than this.

u may find that the vp's are actually lighter then the r33, or at least on level terms.

[Greg]

oh ok, i just assumed thevp wiehged as much as the new commodores!

[Ryno]

I've got a R32 GTS25, and it kills 3.8 litre commodores... Just make sure to get the revs up before you launch

[NS2500]

Ryno is right, if you don't have those revs up forget about it. More so in R33.

3.8 Commodore is easy, 4.0 EFI Falcons are a bit harder - there's so much torque early on.

[Nismodified]

ive found Ca18 turbos cars rather fun and easy to race against.

easier to beat then you may think

[Ryan D]

I got a R33 GTS4, just put new Iridium plugs in it, and i can feel the difference!!! Looking at the KnN hi perf panel filter next, got motul oil and new filters and that, she runs nicely, dunno waht to do next, any suggestions?

Yo,

Finally a good post on NA cars.

I recently installed a BMC Carbon Dynamic Airbox it's an alternative to a cold airbox / pod filter, am very impressed with performance increase. It creates a cyclone suction increasing air pressure, 10-18 bhp increase, they don't come cheap though, looks very sexy though in the engine bay.

My car came kitted with a Zigen 5 Fireball Exhaust, have got a coby highflow extractor on order, currently getting chromed, will be installed by next weekend, I plan to dyno to see performance increase from air box and extractor + exhaust.

Next project will be some type of computer to tune mods and then an RB30 engine long block - still debating this one.
